I feel a bit awkward offering this, but honestly, I'm not asking or forcing anyone. Alright... if anyone wants to, you can draw Einarr interacting with your OCs. He's traveled the world (all over the map) for many years and has become a wandering trader during that time. And I have a feeling he might have met many people. In my headcanon, all characters from all authors exist in the same world, but are scattered across the map in such a way that they rarely cross paths and maybe don't even know about each other.
Einarr is a quiet guy who, as soon as trouble starts, immediately disappears without getting involved. He doesn't get close to anyone because he'll be leaving soon anyway. He doesn't talk about himself and doesn't always explain what or who he's looking for. He arrives seeking shelter and then leaves immediately, never to return. I understand there are many wandering traders, but Einarr is more... detached. It sometimes seems like he forgets he's a trader and only offers deals when asked.
I'm just very curious about how other characters would react to such an odd individualâŠ
You can call it an interactive thingy, if you want. Thanks to all who read it through, and if you draw anything, Iâll be extremely happyđ„čđ«¶
Who would be a better dancer, Polly or Nil? Does dancing even exist here?
Oh Polly by a hundred chunks, there's no competition.
Contrary to what some may believe; Illagers do dance! Dancing is athletic and builds team spirit!!
(the gif is based off of Georgian dancing, used this video as reference. Here's another video, just because this dance is SO cool)
Nil isn't much of a dancer, doesn't know any dances other than maybe something basic that every Villager knows, and is definitely not good at it. But Polly enjoys it!
(Imagining that that's supposed to be part of a larger dance circle with leg movements inspired by the hopak, but I don't even know if that'd work and less on how to animate it. But I can imagine anything.)
That post about Nil sleeping in too long and Polly yelling âUP, SOLDIER!â Has me thinking. Is there any sort of army trigger that Polly has, due to her upbringing? Like those videos of veterans waking up instantly when Reveille is played near them. Has Nil ever accidentally done something that made those instincts kick in for a moment?
I feel like Polly doesn't understand the concept of sleep since pillagers don't have beds and probably have insomnia, so they get very confused (or worried) when Nil goes to sleep for extra hours (since I imagine that Nil would sleep for extra hours/or for half of the day to cope with the loss of family and home.. )
Oh they understand the concept of sleep just fine, they just don't need as much of it! I imagine because Illager society was raised in the shadows of the Dark Oak Forest (and possible underground), and because of their warrior and looting culture that lead them to seeking out monsters to kill, they have developed an affinity for the night, and maybe even physical traits, like a Tapetum lucidum.
Very unlike a nitwit villager who likes to sleep in and... as you said, definitely has reason to wallow in bed for a while. But they're out in the wilderness now, no time for that!
Of course Illagers will sleep eventually, just maybe irregularly (they change their sleeping patterns to fit the shift they've been put on, very flexible, born and bred soldiers they are)

[ Nil wasnât originally smiling in this piece, but I ended up changing it once I added Polly! Need to draw them happy myself since the separation arc only just started apparently hhghhsjjshhjâ- ]
[ Dangling them around like little Miis :) Been heavily debating adding them to my Tomodachi Life island. Steve wouldâve had the blue Player 1 hand, and Glen wouldâve had the yellow Player 4 hand, had I drawn them as well in this setâ- ]
[ Smile!! This piece was actually the first time I drew themâ- Had to redraw Polly here after practicing drawing them a bit more. I like this version a lot more than the original. Iâve found Nil is a bit easier to draw for me?? I tend to have more trouble with Pollyâs expressions, but in drawing her more, I think sheâs my favorite of the two nowâ- ]

In appreciation of @brightgoatâs amazing My World AU, hereâs some pieces with their characters Nil and Polly!! Iâve been trying to work up the nerve to post these for several weeks at this point, geez đ Iâve never actually drawn bald people before, so this was a fun challenge! And Iâm trying out a new style of coloring! I like the texture of it a lot, I plan on using this style some more for whatever Art Fight refs I make coming up. Let me know if you have any thoughts on it :)
I could gush about this comic for ages, and I will because this is my house (blog) and I love to yap!!
I stumbled across the series one night while just scrolling through my feed, and looking at the recommended blogs. I saw a recent post about the Nether Raiders, clicked it, and fell down such a rabbit hole, it was past 2 am by the time I finished reading. Closing the tab after reaching the most recent post felt like coming out of a a fever dream, it was so enthralling.
Their character designs are just genius, Bright does a fantastic job of interpreting Minecraftâs various mobs into numerous unique characters, all just oozing with personality. They have to have at least a dozen Illager designs at this point and every single one looks different, itâs miraculous, I donât know how they do it! Their line work is always gorgeous, same with their coloring and lighting, the entire comic is a treat for the eyes. And the story, god when I said it was like falling down a rabbit hole I really meant it. Thereâs no other way to describe it, I was utterly captured by the plot theyâre putting together, despite literally overheating under my heated blanket in the dead of night during that first read through. I was on the edge of my seat and not going anywhere for hours. I cannot recommend it enough!
So hereâs a small tribute of various drawings of everyoneâs favorite chaotic duo! May they be reunited soon, I greatly miss their shenanigans already :â)
I'm a fool, I thought that BFF means that these two are like a couple, but they're just best friends, I'm so stupid, and that's why I ship Polly and Vinny. BFF just looks like BF, so I got fucked up.
Uhhh hope youâre good, Um,,, uhhhh these are yours. And uhhhhh I made this for you, I hope you like it. Iâm quite proud of it actually- uhhh yeah, đ, awesome au bright!Â
I LOVE IT! Thank you for making it hehe, aw man you guys.... its gonna be a while, I'm sorry ppfpt. I love how you drew them though, especially Nil.. and Polly's teeth! I see those!!
